Oh My God!

I was dreading tomorrow... it was the day my results for MRCP part 1 come out. I've tried this exam twice already, and it's a bitch to pass with success rates of 30%. I was wondering how I'd pull through tonight's shift, while wondering about the results, and I knew I wouldn't sleep tomorrow until the website would be updated with results. Damn pressure I tell's ya.
Anyhow, woke up today around 17:15, feeling sort-of refreshed. Turned my mobile on and I had received a voice message from a guy called George: "hi Ali, it's George. Look the results came out early today, and there is an Alsawaf on the list, not sure if it's you or not! can you check and call me back when you get this message". SHIT.
Now, I know for sure that there are only 3 registered doctor Alsawafs in the UK (there's a public list you can check on, you see). One was me, the other was my brother (a surgeon!) and the other was some guy who is also called Ali Alsawaf (same spelling!) and he works as a GP in, guess where, Colchester! (it's funny getting patients from him to me. from A Alsawaf to A Alsawaf). So it had to be on the website right? I quickly jumped out of bed and checked the site, sure enough, it said that an AFB Alsawaf had PASSED!!! NO WAAAAAAAAAAY!
Man am I relieved!! a damn mofo exam that is the bottle neck of MRCP, is no done and dusted. Thank goodness for that. If only I wasn't working tonight, I'd definitely be out jumping up and down the streets of britain!
